Scott...Sorry I cant agree with you about "Leading the pack" but its a good contender depending how how you look at it, use it, and utilize it. As a former prof Yamaha player for years I have moved on & returned to Ketron which at this time serves me very well for my performing needs. All these studies and consultings mean squat unless they satisfy the consumer which in the last years for me & many they have not regarding 76 keys, MFD features, vocalizer, independent & simultaneous mode play & a few others......but I do applaude them for some of their updates to
Tyros 2....who knows what the future will bring not only with Yamaha but with many of the manufacturers offerings.....wait & see seems to be the ticket here eh?
